Shit Saskatchewanians Say

Ever wondered what it’s like to live in the great frozen Canadian province of Saskatchewan? Well here you go! It’s a little exaggerated, but funny and surprisingly true. That girl, slipping on the ice, is me on a weekly basis.

So I was organizing my makeup collection the other day. My husband looked at me from his computer desk, horrified.

I’m officially on a makeup no-buy for the entire month of February (With the exception of a couple MAC collections coming out next week… haha I’m terrible I know.) My goal is to use up as much of my current stash as possible and buy very little.

I think I have a problem.

Must make these!

So I purchased my first BB cream today. I have been thinking about trying one for awhile, but wasn’t sure where in the great white north I could find one, and unwilling to pay out the wazoo to buy online. Luckily, after doing some research I decided to do the slightly risky move and buy one on Ebay. Now, I know there have been many reviews of fake products and sellers, most of which are primarily based in China. From what I have read the seller I chose seems to be legit, from Korea where the products are made and reasonably priced to boot. I’ll keep you updated on the authenticity when it arrives in a few weeks.

The main reason I decided to take the plunge is because my skin has been absolutely horrible ever since I got pregnant. Even more so in the past few weeks. It seems like no matter what I do, I can’t prevent the painful cystic acne that has been erupting in my T-zone. Ryan has dubbed the biggest one yet, my “second chin.”

I’m hoping the BB cream, which was originally developed to soothe, protect and cover post chemical peel/surgical skin will help prevent and cover breakouts as well as fade some of the imminent scarring I may have.

What do you think? Have you tried a BB cream? Are they as awesome as so many people claim?

Hey Everyone!

Tue, 20 Dec 2011 16:30:43 -0600

You know what’s an awesome way to lose weight? Morning sickness! I’ve literally lost 10 lbs since I got pregnant.

Oh yeah, big news: I’m pregnant! (some of you might have caught on already…)

Seriously though, morning sickness sucks and it’s not just limited to the morning either, I tend to do the bulk of my eating at night since it’s the only time I can. Despite the daily yuckiness, we are very excited! This was definitely not an oopsey-baby. I’m looking forward to becoming a momma and to meeting my little jelly bean in early July.

Due to this development, This will obviously no longer be a weight loss focused blog. I can’t really say it has been for awhile now but I guess it needs to be said. I’ll try not to go all cheezy mommy-blog either but this summer, expect to bombarded by adorable photos for at least a little while.

TTFN

I was wondering if you could post the recipe for the cranberry and herb marinated turkey breasts. They look DELICIOUS! Thanks.

Thu, 17 Nov 2011 00:02:06 -0600

I’ll be honest, they didn’t turn out so great. A little too sour since I didn’t add any sugar in an attempt to be healthy.

But, from what I remember I took a couple handfuls of fresh cranberries, a bit of olive oil, some fresh garlic, rosemary, sage, time and salt and pepper (not sure of the measurements, sorry) whizzed it up in a food processor and put the resulting paste/gunk on the turkey and let it marinate for a few hours.

After, I just transferred them to foil packets and cooked them on the bbq. I think we overcooked them a little which is easy to do with turkey so maybe the oven is a better alternative.

If I was to do it again I would probably add some lemon zest and a few teaspoons of honey or sugar to offset the very sour cranberries.

Good luck!

Dinner. I know it doesn’t look super appetizing bit it’s really tasty and packed full of vitamins.

Lentils with onion, carrot, broccoli, tomato and spices (cumin, coriander, ginger, cardamom, garlic)

You literally stick it all in a pot until the veg is cooked and serve it over brown rice.

Yum!
